Print Area

The Infoprint 1140 printable area is limited to within 4.2 mm (0.167 in.) of all edges of the media. Any information placed outside this specified printable area will not print.

The Infoprint 1140 resident fonts include support for languages that use the following character sets:Latin 1 (US, Western Europe, etc)Latin 2 (Eastern Europe)Latin 5 (Turkish)Latin 6 (Baltic)CyrillicGreekJapanese (Katakana characters only)

There are 83 symbol sets in the PCL 6 emulation to support all the languages that use these characters. The symbol set names are listed below. Not all symbol sets are supported by all fonts. Refer to the Technical Reference manual or use the printer operator panel to find which symbol sets are supported by each font.

The InfoPrint 1140 will have UTF-8 code support standard. UTF-8 code is a particular way in which fonts are accessed. UTF-8 is required for SAP printing and had previously only been available in the Barcode option card. Moving this function standard in the printers allows for SAP support out of the box. UTF-8 is available for PCL and PostScript fonts.

The following table lists the number of fonts available in each emulation. The typeface names are shown below.

Emulation # of Scalable Fonts # of Bitmapped Fonts--------- ------------------- --------------------PCL 6 84 2PostScript 156 0PPDS 39 5The fonts in the PCL emulation are compatible with the fonts in the HP4500 (HP trademark) and include four additional fonts and many extra symbol sets to support extra languages and applications. The fonts in the PostScript emulation are compatible with Adobe PostScript 3 and include 20 additional fonts.

Included on the CD-ROM shipped with the printer are a variety of downloadable fonts for Hebrew and Arabic and additional support for the Euro currency character.

Differences between Infoprint 11xx IPDS and previous IBM printers

The Infoprint 11xx printers have a different level IPDS support than the previous IBM workgroup printers. Some key differences are:

For emulation, the Infoprint 11xx printers emulate the 4028, 4312, 4317, 4324, 3812/16, and 3112/16. These are LF1 emulations ONLY.

Infoprint 11xx printers do not support "Manage IPDS Dialog".

Infoprint 11xx printers do not support Tray Protection.

Infoprint 11xx printers do not support Edge Protection.

Details on Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe Emulation

Product Overview:

The SCS/TNe or IPDS configuration settings can be changed using MarkNet print server's resident web server, a browser and the printer's IP address.

For IPDS emulation printing, the capture of outline fonts (LF3) is now supported.

For Infoprint 1140 and IPDS emulation, staple and offset stacking for the finisher are supported.

For Infoprint 1145 and IPDS emulation, offset stacking is supported in the printer's standard bin and the finisher bin. Stapling is supported for the finisher.

These affordable Cards for IPDS and SCS/TNe provide configuration flexibility and compatibility for AFP/IPDS or SCS printing over TCP/IP to LAN printers. These Cards for IPDS and SCS/TNe are compatible with IBM mainframe or IBM AS/400 applications that generate SCS (LU1) output or with applications that output AFP/IPDS through Print Services Facility (PSF).

IBM continues to make it easy for IS/IT managers to have an affordable printing solution in a distributed network or on a LAN for applications or software that generate AFP/IPDS or SCS. This includes:

Using AFP/IPDS and PSF, capture fonts to hard disk or to flash memory resulting in reduced network traffic over LAN, coaxial or twinaxial connections.

Supports TN3270E or TN5250E SCS (LU1) over the LAN using TCP/IP with Telnet.

No changes to host applications.

Supports emulation of common IBM IPDS and SCS printers.

Additional or new remote controllers with twinax or coax cabling are unnecessary. However, twinax and coax connections continue to be available using the Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS.

With a card and the standard Ethernet network port or a MarkNet print server using TCP/IP, the printer becomes an IBM host workstation printer capable of printing AFP/IPDS or SCS documents from an AS/400 or System/390 computer.

With the appropriate host software and one of these options, the IBM printer emulates an IBM mainframe or AS/400 host printer. See the compatibility section for details.

With the TN3270E and TN5250E extended Telnet protocol support in these options, the printer emulates one TN3270E printer session and up to 4 TN5250E printer sessions using the LU1 SCS data stream over TCP/IP. This is supported directly from an AS/400 or from a mainframe using TCP/IP or through any TN3270E capable gateway that supports TN3270E according to RFC 2355. The DSC/DSE or SCS data streams over LU3 or LU0 are not supported. The Telnet protocol function is only supported with through the standard Ethernet network port or with the MarkNet N2000 print servers. See the compatibility section for more details.

The printer can be configured to take advantage of additional RAM, and when attached to a LAN through the standard Ethernet port or a MarkNet print server, can save IPDS resources to improve performance for complex IPDS print jobs with host resources such as fonts, overlays or page segments.

The IPDS emulation supports the IPDS data and resource towers. Fonts can now be downloaded, captured and saved to hard disk or flash memory in the printer. The US Postal Bar code POSTNET font and the Euro currency symbol are supported within IPDS.

The Euro currency symbol is also supported for the SCS, PostScript and PCL 6 emulations.

The font complement for the IBM Coordinated Scalable Font Set provides support for Latin 1 languages in 3 Letter Gothic (medium, bold and italic) and 3 Prestige (medium, bold and italic) scalable typestyles. Scalable OCR-A and OCR-B typestyles are supported.

The following fonts are supported using bitmaps: APL 12, Boldface PS, Boldface Italic PS, OCR-A 10, OCR-B 10 and Prestige PS. The OCR bitmap fonts have different FGIDs than the scalable font versions.

The IBM 4028 Compatibility Font set consists of 22 fixed pitch typestyles supported by bitmap fonts. Times Roman typestyles (13) are created from Times New Roman scalable typestyles of the same weight and style.

Fonts can also be captured dynamically and saved (cached) to hard disk or flash memory in the printer using PSF/MVS V2.2.0 and PSF/400 V4R5 or later. A captured font then appears as a printer resident font. If many fonts are used in the jobs that are printed, capturing fonts and saving them in the printer will decrease network traffic on busy networks.

PSF defines fonts as either public or private. In order to capture a font, it must be marked as eligible and public. A private font is not eligible to be captured.

Note: Do not mark sensitive fonts such as signatures and MICR fonts as eligible to be captured. Check the font licensing information before a font is made eligible for capture.

If a font is to be captured, the appropriate files for the coded font or character set and code page resources must all be marked.

The printer must also be defined as capable to capture fonts in PSF. For bitmap fonts, the font resolution of the font captured must match the resolution of the emulated printer for it to be recognized by the printer as a printer resident font. For example, the IBM 3812 and 3816 printer emulations require 240 dpi fonts. The IBM 4028 printer emulation requires 300 dpi fonts.

AS/400

On the AS/400, Font capture is supported by AS/400 OS/400 V4R5 or later. To define the printer as capable to capture, in the PSF configuration (CRTPSFCFG), set FNTCAPTURE (*YES).

Eligible fonts must be marked. Display the font attributes to identify marked fonts (DSPFNTRSCA). Check for FNTCAPTURE (*YES). Use Create Font Resource (CRTFNTRSC) to mark font resources from other systems. Use Change Font Resource (CHGFNTRSC) to mark fonts that are not marked as eligible.

For a font to be eligible for capture, it must have non zero fields for FGID and GCSGID. Any fonts captured and saved in the printer's hard disk or flash memory are saved across instances of the writer.

Mainframe (MVS and VSE)

Font capture is supported by PSF/MVS 2.2.0 with APAR 0W08340. With PSF/MVS, use APSRMARK to mark eligible fonts if they are not already marked. The IBM Font Collection fonts are already marked as eligible for capture.

Font capture is supported by PSF/VSE 2.2.1 with APAR DY43969. With PSF/VSE, use APSRMARK to mark eligible fonts if they are not already marked.

SCS Font and Typestyle Support

The SCS emulation uses the default resolution set using the Quality menu from the printer's operator panel. The SCS emulation in the card uses PCL fonts from the printer firmware. If the printer is set to 600 dpi, then all SCS data is printed with 600 dpi PCL fonts. It is possible to imbed PCL and PJL commands into the SCS data stream and pass them to the printer utilizing ASCII transparency.

On the AS/400, fonts can be selected by specifying the FGID (Font Global Identifier) or by characters per inch (CPI). With IBM mainframes, only CPI font selection is possible.

For the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe, IPDS is supported under the IPDS MENU settings and SCS is supported under the SCS/TNe MENU settings.

Support Notes:

Microcode updates and User's Guides are available from the IBM web site.

See the appropriate User's Guide for configuration instructions.

When the printer is emulating an IBM printer, the function supported depends on the IBM host software.

For Direct Network Attachment - Hardware Compatibility

For customer environments with space or budget constraints that would prevent purchase of the complete input drawer option, a separate tray option is available. (Drawer includes tray plus support unit.) For example, the tray might hold an alternate media, such as letterhead, and temporarily replace a tray with standard media as needed. This version of the tray holds approximately 200 sheets of (20 lb.) paper.

For customer environments with space or budget constraints that would prevent purchase of the complete input drawer option, a separate tray option is available. (Drawer includes tray plus support unit). For example, the tray might hold an alternate media, such as letterhead, and temporarily replace a tray with standard media as needed. This version of the tray holds approximately 500 sheets of (20 lb.) paper.

Although occasional envelope printing is supported through the printer's auxiliary tray, this option is available for more frequent envelope printing. It holds up to 85 envelopes. When the envelope feeder is installed, the auxiliary tray is not usable.(#4620) Output ExpanderMinimum required = 0, maximum allowed = 3Prerequisite = none, Corequisite = none

This output option installs above the printer's primary output bin. It offers an additional output destination, which holds up to 650 sheets of 20 lb paper. Multiple output expanders are supported, as indicated in Media Support.

This option is a solution for very large print jobs that need to be sent as a whole to one large bin (as opposed to splitting the large job up to separate smaller bins). The High-Capacity Output Stacker holds approximately 1850 sheets (20 lb paper). This option is designed to install directly above the printer's primary output bin. The Infoprint 1140 support an output expander in addition to the High Capacity Output Stacker, for a total capacity of up to 3000 pages of output.

The High Capacity Output Stacker is mutually exclusive with the Staplesmart finisher. It must be the first option installed on the top of the printer.

(#4640) 5-bin Mailbox

The range of media weights, types and sizes supported by each of these options is described under Media Support. The maximum configuration of paper options supported by each printer model is also described within Media Support.

The Infoprint 1140 has three slots for memory and flash features. Only one flash feature is allowed. If more than one flash feature is installed, the feature with the largest capacity is used. If a flash feature and an Optra Forms flash feature are both installed, the Optra Forms flash feature is used.

The memory features for the Infoprint 1140 include the following SDRAM features:

If larger storage is required, an optional hard disk feature is also available. The hard disk with adapter feature is required for a hard disk support. The adapter plugs into one of the 2 connection slots. Multiple hard disk features may be ordered although only one hard disk can be installed at a time.

In addition to the standard USB port for all models and standard parallel port on the non-network models, each Infoprint 1140 model has two expansion slots that can be used for an optional hard disk, optional internal print servers, or optional local connections.

This serial port utilizes a standard 25-pin D-shell female connector at speeds up to 115,200 bps. It can be connected to most systems that support an RS-232C or RS-422 interface. Serial baud rates range from 1200 to 115,200 bps.

Apple Macintosh or LocalTalk

This port utilizes a standard 8-pin LocalTalk port for direct connection to an Apple Macintosh or LocalTalk network.

Infrared

The Infrared adapter (FC 4131) is required to use this port. The infrared adapter plugs into this port and provides a wireless I/R connection at up to 4 megabit per second (mbps).

This adapter is installed on the printer's parallel port and receives its power through the parallel port. It utilizes a standard 25-pin D-shell females connector and supports baud rates up to 19,200 bps for RS-232C or 38,400 bps for RS-422.

Network cards plug into the two expansion slots. Only card is allowed per network protocol. That is, only one Ethernet and only one Token-Ring card. One Ethernet and one Token-Ring card are allowed. Any of the non base models have Ethernet onboard and cannot have a 10/100BaseTX card installed. These models can have the 10Base/2 card installed but it will disable the onboard Ethernet.

This feature allows the printer to be connected directly to a wireless LAN using the IEEE 802.11b wireless standard. This standard operates at speeds of up to 11 megabits per second (Mbps). The range of this wireless adapter depends on the environment, whether used indoors or outdoors and building contruction. Typical indoor ranges are 20-50 meters and outdoor ranges are 100-200 meters. Performance will degrade with distance. The wireless LAN feature is compliant with any WiFi-compliant device.

The feature is an external adapter that connects to the ethernet port on the printer. The ethernet port can be the standard port that comes on any network model, or an internal ethernet or external print server port. This feature includes a cable that plus into the Ethernet port.

The printer with standard Ethernet MarkNet N2000 Series internal print servers and the MarkNet X2000 Series external print servers support a Resident Web page with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later and Netscape Navigator 4.5 or later for Windows 95/98, Windows Me, Windows 2000 or Windows NT.

Conflict = the decryption feature plugs into the firmware slot in the printer and is mutually exclusive with the application solution features including Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe (FC 4820), Bar Code (FC 4870) and ImageQuick Card (FC 4821). This feature cannot be installed on any of the "in" models.

Encryption Overview

This feature offers an encryption solution for print output on hosts such as a mainframe, UNIX server, Microsoft Windows PC or Apple workstation that connect over a TCP/IP network to the IBM workgroup printer. The decryption card is installed in the printer and decryption takes place at the printer for maximum security.

This decryption solution is based on Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS-197) for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). This standard specifies Rijndael as the encryption algorithm. AES is the new encryption standard that replaces DES, the old standard. AES is a symmetric algorithm supporting key lengths of 128, 192, and 256 bits for encryption. A symmetric algorithm uses a single key for both encryption and decryption. A key length of 256 bits provides 1.1 times 10 to the power of 77 possible combinations which makes it extremely difficult for eavsdroppers to decrypt intercepted print jobs.

The decryption feature also supports sessions keys. Session keys are used during a specific host session with the printer. The key is different for every session providing maximum security. Most competitive decryption solutions don't support session keys.

Connectivity Requirements for Decryption Feature

The printer must be connected to an ethernet network using TCP/IP. This feature only work on printer models with a standard ethernet port. It will not work with any of the optional ethernet print server features. The decryption card plugs into the firmware slot in the printer and is mutually exclusive with the application solution features such as IPDS, Bar Code, and ImageQuick.

Unique TCP/IP port numbers are used for encrypted print jobs. The decryption card decrypts and prints information appropriate for the port.

When the printer is emulating an IBM printer, the function supported depends on the IBM host software.

The SCS adapter uses PCL(?fonts from the printer for IBM host fonts. The default resolution of the printer determines the resolution of the SCS data and its PCL fonts.For Direct Twinaxial Attachment

Software Compatibility

The IBM host software requirements for DSC/DSE or SCS printing when the printer is emulating an IBM 3812-01, 4224-01, 3287, 3268 or 4214 printer are as follows:

Any application or host software that generates the SCS or DSC/DSE data streams for one of the emulated printers such as:VTAM Printer Support (VPS - Levi, Ray & Shoup (LRS) software)JES/328X Print Facility V2R2 or laterGraphical Data Display Manager (GDDM) V2.3RSCS V3.2 or laterVTAMDisplayWrite/370 V1R2.1 or V2R1 or later (MVS/CICS or VSE/CICS)

The SCS data stream is supported by IBM MVS/CICS and VSE/CICS.Applications Solution Features

The ImageQuick Option Card enables the Infoprint 1140 laser printers to print PDF files, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, PCX, DCX, HTML files or URLs referencing PDF or HTML files directly to the printer quickly and easily without using a driver. The Drag'N'Print Utility is included and can be used to create URL bookmarks or to print these objects directly.

The card for PRESCRIBE interprets the PRESCRIBE data stream designed for Kyocera PRESCRIBE printers and converts it into PCL. The Infoprint 1120/1125 with a card for PRESCRIBE can replace Kyocera Page Printers such as Kyocera FS-600, FS-800, FS-1500, FS-1550, FS-1600, FS-1700, FS-1700+, FS-3700, FS-6700, FS-7000.

Optra Forms uses 'up-to-the-minute' data directly from customer applications and combines it with printer resident electronic forms with text and graphics to produce (print) completed forms such as invoices, statements, pick slips, labels, purchase orders or confirmations with bar codes or other specialized graphics on a variety of paper types.

For Optra Forms:

No Server-based or host based merge program or software is required.

Use with virtually any ASCII text print file from any platform, mainframe, AS/400, UNIX or workstation, over Coax, Twinax, parallel, serial or LAN (TCP/IP).

Generally, make no changes to database applications.

Print different forms at different locations from the same database, possibly using the same data.

Update forms quickly and easily (globally) over the LAN

Provides support for bar codes, color, duplex, multipage form sets and more.

The spool file which may contain many individual documents is customized by separating it into individual jobs or by adding data or particular commands to the individual documents that are then sent to IP, LPR, or Windows printer destinations. The additional data or commands may be to staple, separate documents with a cover page, copy and collate, print on both sides, offset stack, fax, or hole punch each individual job. Print jobs are customized and distributed electronically to network printers automatically without making any changes to host applications.

Optra Forms is supported on the Infoprint 1140 using a Optra Forms flash or Hard Disk. Only one Optra Forms flash DIMM is supported. If a Flash DIMM and Optra Forms Flash DIMM are both installed, the Optra Forms DIMM will be used.

For added security, confidential forms printing can be restricted to to authorized personnel using the security features. This is a lock and key that attaches to the printer serial port. When the key is removed, the printer will still print but confidential forms will not. This feature is mutually exclusive with the 3-key security feature (FC 4879).

For added security, confidential forms printing can be restricted to to authorized personnel using the security features. This is a lock and key that attaches to the printer serial port. When the key is removed, the printer will still print but confidential forms will not. This feature is mutually exclusive with the 2-key security feature (FC 4878).

Optra Forms Manager enables administrators to manage and distribute forms to multiple printers over a TCP/IP network. This includes loading new forms and updating existing forms on an Optra Forms printer over a TCP/IP network.

Optra Forms Manager lets you:Keep a master copy of all forms on a PCUpdate all printers at same time over TCP/IP after a printer query for its resident Styles and creation dates. Only matching Styles (flash files) with different creation dates are downloaded to the printer over TCP/IP.Import a printer IP address txt file (also from MarkVision** registry)Select the printers to which the Download or Update operations apply.Run the update as a batch jobCreate a log file to know successful printer updatesCreate a Style report and save it to a comma separated variable (CSV) file giving better knowledge about the forms in all the printer. The Style report includes the printer listed by their IP address or DNS name and a description, Style names and their versions and the Optra Forms Merge program version in each printer.Create PDF files (using Acrobat Distiller) of the data merged with forms after retrieving archive data files from the Optra Forms hard disk. The PDF file can be saved as a softcopy archive file.

Note: With an Optra Forms hard disk, create a job buffering partition or change its size. After the disk is formatted and partitioned, the Optra Forms Merge program is written to the disk.

To use Optra Forms Manager, the Optra Forms printers must be connected to a TCP/IP network. The LPR protocol is also supported to download forms.

Optra Forms Manager is now available on a separate CD for those customers who want to use this program to more effectively manage their Optra Forms printers over TCP/IP. Other third party service providers can also manage their customers forms more cost effectively.

The Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe provides AFP/IPDS and SCS (LU1) data stream support for IBM mainframe and AS/400 computers. The Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe allows customers to print AFP/IPDS or SCS(LU1) documents over TCP/IP to LAN printers or over distributed SNA networks using the Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS with a coaxial or twinaxial cable connected printer.
